The digest of interesting materials for the mobile developer # 260 (July 2 - July 8)

In the new digest, we study the work of Xcode 10 and iOS 12, various aspects of working with React Native, problems of the Google Play store, network code and refactoring, test efficiency, and even the pet application market.

iOS 12: new in notifications

The WWDC conference was held, and there are still a lot of reports worth seeing. There were key topics that Apple paid special attention to. Core ML, Siri Shortcuts and, of course, changes to Notifications.

React Native from the perspective of a mobile developer

When I first learned about React Native, I took it as an occasion for web developers to invade my territory (absolutely no!) And at the same time spoil the well-functioning crash-free-60-fps product.
